    Id love to see NXT do better numbers than Raw or SD on a regular basis just to see Vince's reaction

    With the return of the wildcard rule

    The only worry for NXT is that the roster will be decimated in the draft...and talent completely misused on main rosters

    NXT isn't part of the draft apparently.

    They're still changing the format as they go anyway. The announce team had a new location.

    Seeing Cameron Grimes, I remember reading he was the next big thing on the indie scene as Trevor Lee before he joined TNA. And he's only 25. And only one of the newer guys that has appeared both weeks.

    Dakota seemed happy to be back anyway. Not sure on Conti. She seems to just be a jobber confused whether she's face or heel. And just who does Team Kick consist of that Dakota is captain?

    Just need to watch the main event.

    And Mauro referencing Terra Ryzing.

    Next week they have 3 title matches planned in their full 2 hours on USA. And they were sure to say they have limited ads.

    Must be something else on next week that the Men's, Women's and Tag Titles are all being defended on live TV with limited commercials :D

    Wonder how the limited commercials will work and is it a one off, will there be one commercial per title match giving them lots of air time to have PPV quality matches.

    Week 2 did 1,000,006 viewers, down 15% but still seems a pretty good rating.

    Tegan Nox is the other member of Team Kick. Ironically both have had devestating leg injuries over the last year.

    Probably try and make the matches commercial free. They don't want people switching over to another station and seeing something there. Could nearly see WWE watching AEW to be sure they air the ads at the same time.

    Not sure what way the matches will go. I can see 1 title changing due to the occasion. But none seem likely.

    Wargames is still nearly 2 months away as well

    In fairness to WWE NXT live is already better than Raw and Smackdown.

    Her and Tegan nox and maybe ruby riott unofficially.


  • Registered Users Posts: 29,137 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    That's what I thought I read. Think they need to stop calling her that on NXT though, especially since they haven't been a team. I know she favours kicks, but really it's like if they kept calling Ohno and/or Cesaro King of Wrestling

    Probably the women's title. Candice to pull a shocker and get the win. Don't think anyone from Undisputed Era will be dropping a title for the next couple of months.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,567 ✭✭✭bennyl10


    With NXt going to TV is gonna be unable to watch live form here legally?

    Maybe with a Rhea Ripley distraction? At least if she drops the title then you can have Ripley/Shayna build up a decent feud and then after have Rhea go after Candice for the title

    Ah darn look I suppose it could be good for him and he might go back on the main roster some day

    In a way,
    Finn's
    the real winner here, assuming he's getting main roster money for NXT, less travel and only has to hang around Florida.

    Your idea intrigues me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.


  • Registered Users Posts: 60,704 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    So is he now on main event money doing the limited NXT schedule of house shows around Florida?


    That's a nice handy gig for him if it is getting big money and getting to stay in his own bed every night.

    I'm just assuming, and we all know what assumptions are.


  • Registered Users Posts: 23,185 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    It's a safe assumption, I think. No-one will take a pay cut with kicking up a major stink.

    But never mind him coming back because the other surprise was far better.
    NO-ONE WILL SURVIVE! Fantastic to see him back.


  • Registered Users Posts: 29,137 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Quite enjoyed that.
    Honestly, not a fan of
    Finn
    coming back. The other return was cool though
    This is the first NXT with Gargano since going live?

    I guess Tegan Nox is NXT bound and not just NXT UK.

    At least know Damien Priest is heel now. Wasn't too sure before. Doing his own CrossRhodes

    I noticed the guy who's usually front row wasn't there. I guess weekly shows would be too expensive to attend.

    Also since they're staying in Full Sail, you'd think they would go with padded railings if the area around the ring is going to be so narrow.


  • Registered Users Posts: 38,463 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    I'd love to see Finn go heel down there

    He might go back to the main roster sometime. I dont want his run of becoming the first universal champion to be forgotten about


  • Registered Users Posts: 773 ✭✭✭TimesArrow


    When Finn came out my first thought was could they build to a SS match between Undisputed v Finn and the OC/Club? Could that happen as a one off event? Unlikely probably

    I had to YouTube that, damn that was only 3 years ago.

    Will it be part of the BT rights package when it moves there from Sky?
